Lois Bryan replied
awww … thanks sooo much!!! You re interpreted my title, which is sooo cool!!! The say ahh I was referring to is the situation where you’re in the doctor’s office and he sticks that evil wooden thing down your throat!!! LOL!!! Seriously, I’m glad you liked this one … it was taken right after I got my new macro lens and NOTHING was safe from me and my camera!!!! Thanks again … and thanks for the heads-up on the Tag image … what an honor!!!!! Best regards, Lois

thanks so much, Dave!! When that macro lens was FINALLY in my hand (you know me, there’s ALWAYS a story) I went a little crazy!!! It had rained the night before I took this, and the fun I had the next morning is legendary. As was the mud I got into.

beautiful capture Lois …
lovely fine detail and colour ♥
Lois Bryan replied
Hiiii dear Wendy!!! With me, you get stories, lol!! I’d just gotten the macro lens when the iris came into bloom. I’ve got tons of the dopey things (iris, not macro lenses) in my garden and always considered them a bit of a nuisance. Too much rain in their little mouths and over they go. Plop. But THIS year, I had in hand my new macro lens … and BOY did I ever have fun!!! Thanks so much for your kind note!!! Ya made my evening!!! Hugs, Lois
